days unposted [image heavy]

May 26, 2011

hello lovely's
it's been almost a week since I've posted.
summer session started at uncg
 and my schedule changed from free time 
to monday-thursday classes
 along with trying to keep the kids on their
 schedule- not easy to do but
 it gets done and I'm not complaining
I just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten about you! 
and I've really missed blogging.
 so I'm back.


here is a collection of pictures
from the six days missed.

randoms
 horrible lighting. but I drew on hubby's leg with pen.
 two birdies. appropriate I think.

 summer classes start.
 baroque art book. 

 studying Italy classic art 17th century.
 studying in mciver.

 the room is all decorated and isolated from 
 the chaos of the school. 

 my studying area.
the dingy couch.

 the carpet that hangs behind the dingy couch.
It has character and I like it.

 ryland ready for breakfast at my moms.
 
 addi is always super excited
 when we're invited to have breakfast at grandma's!

 a relaxing saturday morning
 coffee and reading while the munchkins chomp.

we went to ham's for lunch and addi surprised me
 by showing me her cup she wrote on "mom addi <3"

if she wants to!

 she makes friends,
everywhere she goes. 

 he is known for scoping out anything on wheels
 and riding it around.

 bubbles are always a big hit!

 my munchkins are a bit 
obsessed with bubbles.

 blowing and catching them!

 running for the big one she 
was trying to catch as it floated away!

cookout after the birthday party.

 made by hubby's dad.

 yummy makings for 
turkey burgers.

 I'll be doing a recipe box for this, soon!

 projects
 I made this soap dispenser a few weeks ago- 
shared from a genius friend who sells them!

 I decided it was time to hang some of my art.
 I am weird about that.


minimal & simple
 I've been getting rid of crap and trying 
to "simplize" our house. 
here is one of three bookshelves.

 our living room. 
 wall painting by adriana and ryland!

 my second bookshelf. 
I cleaned it out and spaced things out a bit.

& other wall hangings.
